What about England?

There's Tolkien tourism in places other than New Zealand. For example, you might also want to discuss Oxford and Sarehole Mill in Birmingham, both of which get significant numbers of fan visitors. MLilburne (talk) 11:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, you are welcome to add info regarding that. Michellecrisp (talk) 01:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Un-needed analysis

This article is little more than some bozo's opinion on Tolkien tourism. This article should be heavily edited-or removed. I don't see how 'Tolkien tourism' needs it's own article-, personally, I think it should just be mentioned on the Lotr film series' article.bob bobato (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with this analysis - it certainly merits its own article, and can easily be dealt with in this form to make it comply with Wikipedia rules. Ingolfson (talk) 22:18, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
